We have a responsibility to give Big Dave the benefit.
We need to remember how far we've come. Whilst I'm just as disappointed as the next person at the lack of achievement during our time in the top tier, we have the opportunity of a second chance if we make an immediate return to the premier league.
If the recruitment of Darren Moore means the majority of the squad stay for one season - a personal expectation of mine, considering this is essentially the players own appointment - then this gives us every chance to continue our good form, and achieve an immediate promotion which avoids the need for a complete rebuild with limited resources in a second rate league.
We have a responsibility next season as fans to push this team up the league. That's why I'm spending my limited funds to increase my own attendance at the Hawthorns next season.
Good luck Big Dave, I'm confident you'll have a strong (and maintained) backing from our fanbase.
46 games, its going to be a long season...COYB!
